How long did it take you to write your book?

9/1/2020 07:40:55 am

I actually started writing the story a year ago, although I knew it would be the fifth book in the series. Sometimes when a story starts to form in my head, I have to put it down on paper. If I sat down and started writing it from beginning to end, I'd say it took me about 3 months with my full-time job. I recently retired and will have more time to write.

Thank you for the question.

Hi.

There will be 14 books in the series, most of which I've already outlined. There is also a spin-off series planned. Thank you for the question.

At first glance at the covers I think that I'm looking at FBI most wanted posters with the words "captured" stamped across the front of their photos, maybe it's the top 5 most wanted book covers? Otherwise they are nice covers.

9/5/2020 07:57:30 am

Thanks. What an original way to look at the covers and a great promotion idea! To the bad elements they are fighting against, they would be on their most wanted list. The goal of my publisher was to have my series logo stand out. As a Marvel and DC Comics movie fan and lover of book series, branding my series was important.
